Thomas Cole’s Genesee Scenery (Mountain Landscape with Waterfall), 1847, in the collection of the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, before and after reframing by Eli Wilner & Company.
NEW YORK, NY.-Eli Wilner & Company is pleased to report that the Eli Wilner Frame Funding allocated for distribution by the end of April has been fully committed to support museums and institutions across the country. $175,000 in new funding has been secured through our funders, to be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis by May 31, 2026. New applications are currently being accepted via email at info@eliwilner.com. Eli Wilner & Company reframed Thomas Cole’s Genesee Scenery (Mountain Landscape with Waterfall), 1847, in the collection of the Rhode Island School of Design Museum. Previously housed in 1970s stock molding, the painting had long awaited a historically appropriate frame. The project became possible through private donor support and Wilner’s museum funding initiative. Drawing on decades of expertise in Hudson River School framing, Wilner collaborated with the museum to select an 1870 American fluted cove frame from its extensive ... More

HELSINKI.- HAM Helsinki Art Museum presents Magdalena Abakanowicz's first solo exhibition in Finland. The museum’s two main exhibition halls will be filled with diverse work of the influential artist—from her iconic woven textile sculptures, Abakans, through to the expressive series of sculptures from her later period. Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930–2017) was one of the most famous Polish artists of the second half of the 20th century. She gained international fame as a creator of unique textiles and Abakans, named after the artist’s surname in the 1960s. Recognised internationally as early as 1962 at the International Tapestry Biennial in Lausanne, she was awarded the Gold Medal at the São Paulo Biennial three years later. Abakanowicz’s career was also intertwined with the political realities of her time: in communist Poland during the 1960s and 1970s, her art was a constant search for freedom within a restricted ...

Jacopo Carucci, The Visitation, Around 1528. Parish Church of San Michele Arcangelo, Carmignano (Prato), Diocese of Pistoia.
MADRID.- The Museo Nacional del Prado is offering visitors a rare encounter with one of the most compelling paintings of early Italian Mannerism: The Visitation by Jacopo Carucci, better known as Pontormo. Painted around 1528, the work has traveled exceptionally from the parish church of San Michele Arcangelo in Carmignano, near Prato, in the Diocese of Pistoia. It is now on view in Room 49 of the Prado’s Villanueva Building through June 18, 2026, thanks to the collaboration of the Fundación Amigos del Museo del Prado. For Spanish audiences, the loan is especially significant. This is the first time Pontormo’s Visitation has been shown in Spain, and the painting has rarely left its place of origin. Its presence in Madrid offers an unusual chance to see a work that has long been considered one of the most enigmatic and emotionally charged masterpieces of Florentine Mannerism. The exhibition forms part of the ... More
The Unborn speaks to the mystery of what makes us human. Heyert’s portraits are about what we are all like before we enter the world.
VENICE.- Photographer Elizabeth Heyert will premier nine works from her new series, The Unborn, during the Venice Biennale in May 2026. Selected as part of Personal Structures, a group exhibition curated by the European Cultural Centre (ECC), Heyert’s work will be shown at the historic Palazzo Mora. Pe Unborn speaks to the mystery of what makes us human. Heyert’s portraits are about what we are all like before we enter the world. They show us the unseen. The nine photographs in the series are portraits of pre-natal subjects who were conceived in the first half of the 20th century and died of natural causes. In this original and controversial work of art, we are invited to witness a universal experience—a state that each of us has passed through and of which we have no image or memory. Heyert views these portraits as bookends to her ongoing exploration of the experience of being human, which began with her renown 2006 ... More
Elger Esser, Eggleston II, 2007. Mixed Media: silver-plated copper plate, direct print, shellac, 27 x 19.5 cm. Edition of 3 plus 1 AP.
SANTA MONICA, CA.- ROSEGALLERY presents My Days at Ray's, an exhibition of recent work by Elger Esser. The exhibition marks a significant moment in Esser's practice: a presentation of his ongoing series of works on silvered copper alongside the debut of a new technique, painted photographs on silver-plated copper, that extends his work into the territory of singular, material objects. Elger Esser's work continues to explore the relationship between nature, landscape, and the spaces we create within it. His photographs of open water and expansive skies present an elemental world seemingly untouched by human presence.
A similarly intimate sensibility informs My Days at Ray's. Inspired in part by Edward Weston's celebrated diaries documenting his own travels through the American West, Esser brought a diarist's attentiveness to both landscape and domestic space. In 2008, commissioned by Anthony E. Nicholas, director of The Lapis Press, to photograph the ... More
HAMBURG.- F.C. Gundlach. You’ll Never Watch Alone focuses on the impact of F.C. Gundlach (1926-2021) as a photographer, gallery owner, collector, entrepre- neur and networker. The exhibition showcases his iconic colour photographs as well as unpublished black-and-white and colour shots, and works by his role models, contemporaries and successors. The exhibition is staged to mark the 100th anniversary of F.C. Gundlach's birth as part of the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg 2026. F.C. Gundlach became renowned for fashion photography taken around the globe. An influential photographer and leading figure in a fashion, art and culture network, he was closely involved in the production and reception of German fashion magazines. His many cover images not only shaped how fashion was staged and presented, but also the related social concepts of gender and identity. Taking Gundlach’s work as a starting point, the exhibition investigates pho- tography’s emergence as a ... More
Paul Klee, Untitled [Verso of Glass Façade], 1940. Oil on primed canvas, 71,3 × 95,7 cm. Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern. Image credits: Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern, Image archive.
BERN.- Often, in his painting and drawing, Paul Klee used both sides of his picture supports such as paper, cardboard or canvas. Over the many years of her research project, the curator Marie Kakinuma identified drawings, watercolours or paintings on the verso of 600 of a total of 9600 works by the artist. With reference to 19 examples, the presentation Fokus. Klee’s versos, within the permanent exhibition Kosmos Klee, reveals the variety of the recto and verso compositions within Klee’s oeuvre. Fascinating origin stories of Klee’s works come to light. The examples shown testify to continuing working processes, reused materials or chance posthumous discoveries. Here the nature of the support plays a major part. In the case of non-transparent supports such as canvas or cardboard, in some instances the verso depictions have only been revealed by restoration or scientific examination. On the verso of Klee’s Glass Façade ... More
Wenche and Jens Selmer at the drawing board. Photo: Jens Selmer (self-timed).
OSLO.- Despite her international experience, including work for various architects in Paris, it was through her Norwegian cabins and wooden houses that Wenche Selmer (1920–1998) left a lasting mark on architectural history. For Selmer, the cabin was more than a building task. It became an ideal for architecture in general, and a metaphor for a simple, good life. “What can you live without?”, she often asked her clients. Through this exhibition, The National Museum of Norway highlights Wenche Selmer as an important Norwegian architect. “With a restrained formal language and a clear eye for place, people, and materials, she built bridges between tradition and modernity, shaping several generations of Norwegian architecture” says museum director Ingrid Røynesdal. Wenche Selmer worked regularly with her husband, Jens Selmer (1911–1995), widely regarded as one of Norway’s most important housing architects. Through drawings, photographs and narratives, the exh ... More
:mentalKLINIK, Hyperchromatic Madness 2101, 2021. Cotton Paper, Dichroic Micro-Layered Polyester Solar Film, Transparent Solar Films. 90 × 72 cm.
MADRID.- Sabrina Amrani presents What Silence Keeps, a group exhibition featuring works by :mentalKLINIK, Carlos Aires, Manal AlDowayan, Joël Andrianomearisoa, Gabriela Bettini, Alexandra Karakashian, Waqas Khan, Nicène Kossentini, Mónica de Miranda, Timo Nasseri, Wardha Shabbir and Jorge Tacla. There are silences that do not emerge from calm, but from disappearance. Silences slowly constructed through time, power, fear, or erosion. Silences that cover what was once alive: a language, a territory, a memory, an emotion, a collective gesture. What Silence Keeps brings together twelve artists from different geographical and cultural contexts around a shared intuition: silence is not emptiness, but an active matter that preserves, conceals, erodes, and transforms. The exhibition begins with a simple question that is, at the same time, impossible to fully answer: what does silence truly keep? ... More

VENICE.- The exhibition “Helter Skelter: Arthur Jafa and Richard Prince”, curated by Nancy Spector, will open to the public on Saturday, 9 May, at Fondazione Prada in Venice. “Helter Skelter”, on view until 23 November 2026, reveals a creative conversation between the work of two prominent American artists, Arthur Jafa (b. 1960) and Richard Prince (b. 1949), that has never been examined before. Born a decade apart, they share an ethos of lawlessness when it comes to the appropriation and manipulation of images siphoned from movies, pulp novels, comic books, YouTube videos, sci-fi stories, album covers, record sleeves, rock ‘n’ roll posters, first-edition Beat volumes, news reels, celebrity memorabilia, and social-media posts. Trafficking heavily in American popular culture, they expose its grit and grift, while embracing many of its myths and perversions. Both artists chart peculiar topographies specific to the ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- The Ivy Look A to Z sees Graham Marsh – one of the style’s foremost authorities – break down the building blocks of a look that has quietly shaped modern menswear for over half a century. First emerging in the Ivy League schools of America’s East Coast during the 1950s and ’60s, the Ivy Look fused polish with ease in a way that is still relevant today and it has had a lasting sartorial impact on fashion and culture. Effortless, democratic and quietly assured, it has been worn by everyone from Miles Davis to Steve McQueen and Paul Newman. Its appeal lies in an approachable correctness and laid-back confidence. Digging deep into the archives, this visual handbook maps out the Ivy essentials and how to wear them – from Desert Boots and Loafers to Madras, Oxford Shirts, and Trench coats. Each entry is accompanied by Marsh’s original illustrations alongside period album covers, vintage advertising, film imagery and A-list Ivy icons. The Ivy Look A to Z ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- An exhibition of new sculptures and drawings by Meg Webster, featuring a new installation made from natural materials, will open on May 9 at 521 West 21st Street. The presentation follows Webster’s major exhibition at Dia Beacon, New York (2024–2026), which closed on April 13, as well as her inclusion in the critically acclaimed exhibition Minimal at Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection, Paris (2025–2026). Since the 1980s, Webster has worked with natural materials, including soil, moss, branches, wax, and salt, to create simple, geometric forms that engage the formal vocabulary of Minimalism while foregrounding human scale and sensorial experience. Webster’s practice is guided by her long-standing commitment to the ... More
Working primarily through portraiture, Tinei constructs images that unfold through hesitation.
NEW YORK, NY.- MARC STRAUS opened Thirty Pieces of Sun, a solo exhibition by Alexander Tinei presenting a new body of work. This is the artist’s first solo presentation at the gallery. Working primarily through portraiture, Tinei constructs images that unfold through hesitation. His figures appear self-conscious, withdrawn, or suspended within their own perception, as if caught in the act of becoming aware of themselves. This awareness does not lead to clarity, but to a heightened sense of uncertainty. The recurring blue tonalities that trace across skin function as subtle disruptions, marking the surface while pointing inward, suggesting identity as something unstable, shaped by memory, history, and perception. This condition becomes particularly evident in Kiss (2026), where two figures merge into one another in a gesture that resists resolution: faces dissolve into painterly passages, hands press with a striking delicacy, and the boundary between bodies softens rather ...

Koen van den Broek brings urban landscapes to Jeonnam Museum of Art GWANGYANG-SI.- Jeonnam Museum of Art presents The Skin of the Earth, the first solo exhibition by Belgian painter Koen van den Broek at a public museum in Asia. Bringing together works that span the artist’s sustained investigation of roads, pavements, intersections, parking lots, and other peripheral structures of the urban environment, the exhibition examines how the ground—marked by cracks, curbs, shadows, road lines, and worn asphalt—emerges as both a pictorial subject and a field of historical, material, and perceptual inscription. Trained in architecture and engineering before turning to painting, van den Broek has developed a distinctive pictorial language over the past 25 years. His paintings often begin with photographs taken during his travels, yet they do not function as straightforward records of place. Instead, the artist translates the framing, cropping, ... More

Haines Gallery survey explores nature as a photographic agent SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Haines Gallery presents Once the Ocean Floor, a group exhibition of photography featuring works by John Chiara, Linda Connor, David Maisel, and Meghann Riepenhoff. Working across a range of photographic processes, these artists foreground the natural world not simply as subject, but as an active force—an agent, collaborator, and historian. John Chiara’s (b. 1971, lives and works in San Francisco, CA) luminous Ilfochrome prints, made using hand-built camera obscuras, are both a window onto the world and a physical object shaped by time, light, and touch. Printed directly onto photo- graphic paper as unique positives, his images possess an uncanny clarity—at once dreamlike and sharply lucid. Through layered exposures and subtle filtration, Chiara produces richly saturated, atmospheric scenes that openly register the conditions ... More
Richard Lewer wins Archibald Prize 2026 for portrait of Pitjantjatjara Elder Iluwanti Ken SYDNEY.- Melbourne-based artist Richard Lewer has won the Archibald Prize 2026 and $100,000 for his portrait of Pitjantjatjara Elder, senior artist and ngangkari (traditional healer) Iluwanti Ken. Lewer’s work was selected from 1034 entries for the Archibald Prize in 2026 and is one of 59 finalist works on display at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. A portrait that speaks powerfully to presence and cultural responsibility, the work was painted by Lewer following time spent on Country with Ken in the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands of South Australia, where she lives and works. The painting captures her strength as both a cultural custodian and a contemporary artist; she is also a finalist in this year’s Wynne Prize. A six-time Archibald finalist, Lewer said he was happy and proud to receive the phone call from Art Gallery of New South Wales ... More
W139 exhibition unearths the violent histories of our land AMSTERDAM.- What is held in the ground is never singular. The soil holds what has been built and what has been undone. It carries gestures of care sedimented within violent histories. To approach the ground, here, is to approach a field of entanglement—a temporal convergence of soil, labour, and memory. W139 announces flour, water, soil, its first artist-initiated exhibition of 2026. The group exhibition, initiated by maria khatchadourian, features three new site-specific works and three adapted works by Areej Ashhab, Common Ground, Ola Hassanain, maria khatchadourian, Ai Ozaki, and belit sağ. Together, the works in the exhibition attend to soil, seed, water, fermentation, and ruin as sites where care and violence are entangled—holding stories of repair, dispossession, and continuity. The exhibition reflects on food, land, and agricultural practice ... More
The pot as protagonist: Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran returns to the first principles of clay MELBOURNE.- Sullivan+Strumpf is presenting a landmark exhibition by acclaimed contemporary artist Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran, marking a decisive evolution in his practice: the vessel moves to the centre. A decade on since Ramesh's first institutional solo exhibition in 2016, this new body of work ushers in a new chapter, driven by a renewed interest in materiality, process and transformation. In Liquid Vessels, he returns to what he describes as the “first principles” of ceramics - extending his interest in figuration by embracing the archetypical pot form as a locus for creative, personal and philosophical exploration; treating it not as backdrop, but as protagonist. Figures and vessels fuse. The container becomes animate. This shift is both formal and conceptual. The vessel operates simultaneously as sacred technology, ecological ... More
